Compared to normal eyeglasses, shooting glasses are designed to meet the specific requirements of shooting in order to ensure optimal vision and safety. The viewing point on shooting glasses refers to the position at which the eyes look through the lenses in order to optimally capture the target. Compared to normal glasses, the viewing point on shooting glasses is adjusted so that it is ideally aligned with the shooting direction.
For shooters, it is crucial that the viewing point is aligned exactly with the height of the sight. Normal glasses do not take this aspect into account specifically for shooting sports. Shooting glasses are designed to optimize the requirements for aiming and shooting.
Shooting glasses offer special advantages for shooters compared to normal eyeglasses. Their design is geared toward meeting the requirements of shooting.
The most important features and improvements include:
-
Sharpness and contrast
Shooting glasses optimize sharpness and contrast for more accurate target acquisition.
-
Glare protection
They reduce glare, especially during outdoor activities, to improve visibility of the target.
-
Customizable lenses
Some shooting glasses allow the lenses to be changed depending on the lighting conditions, offering more versatile use.
-
Side protection
Many shooting glasses have side shields to protect the eyes from lateral interference and stray light.
Of all sports, shooting is the most demanding on the eyes.
Small sight defects, unfavourable lighting conditions or visual fluctuations can become unpleasantly apparent, and may ultimately cost you decisive points.
The highest target accuracy is achieved by looking at right angles through the optical centre of the spectacle lens. This quality is not achievable when looking through conventional glasses.
Shooting glasses made especially for you are therefore the first choice if you want the best shooting results.
Accessories for optimising target accuracy
Various colour filters are used to optimise visibility under different light conditions.
Other options to optimise performance include various cover shades, iris diaphragms, centring devices and magnetic holders to attach filters.
